Employee Health Report
Each month University Health Service sends out an Employee Health Report for department heads and supervisors that details the compliance status of your employees for each protocol.
The reports include a status column with the following codes:
- Compliant: The employee is in compliance with the protocol indicated. No action is required.
- Not Compliant: The employee is past due for the protocol indicated and not in compliance with current UK HealthCare Employee Health Policy. The employee’s work status is at the discretion of his/her supervisor.
- Compliance in Progress: The employee is in the process of completing the protocol indicated, but must return to Employee Health within two weeks of the date indicated in the date due column to remain in compliance.
